The exterior wood panels exhibit prominent shrinkage gaps, historic iron nail head oxidation, and fine insect boring holes that have long since stabilized. The seat corners and base rims display heavy softening, superficial scuffing, and localized paint loss along the high-friction edges, revealing the lighter natural grain underneath. This can also cause instability.
